Innovation Stage
The Innovation Stage is a brand-new addition to the Fertilizer Europe Conference, designed to bring cutting-edge ideas and innovations closer to the heart of the industry. It will spotlight developments across areas such as specialty fertilizers, additives, biostimulants, and AI-driven solutions.
Located directly on the exhibition floor, this stage offers a dynamic speaking environment, maximising visibility, footfall, and engagement with a senior fertilizer audience. Running alongside the main agenda at carefully selected times, these sessions are designed to capture attention and drive high-value interaction.
Each session will showcase forward-thinking products and solutions with the potential to transform how fertilizers are produced, distributed, and applied.
Expect fast-paced, insight-driven presentations exploring how emerging innovations are delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, sustainability, and performance.
Have a game-changing solution or product ready to disrupt the fertilizer industry? Please contact Finn Chatterton to discuss speaking opportunities.

From mineral to circular: Exploring hybrid fertilizer concepts with insect frass
REPLOID Group AG's wholly owned subsidiary, REPLOID REGREEN GmbH, produces organic fertilisers from insect frass, a circular co-product of farming black soldier flies using regional food industry side streams. Insect frass combines organic matter, nutrients and biostimulatory compounds, which improves water-holding capacity, soil structure and crop stress tolerance. Pairing mineral fertilisers with insect frass components creates a powerful combination, as mineral products deliver concentrated, predictable nutrients, while frass strengthens soil as a productive asset, this presentation shows. Using practical concepts and use cases, we outline how hybrid organo-mineral blends enhance yield stability, support soil health and create attractive, circular product options.Speakers Include:

Andreas Steinbüchler
